System failure - The Boston Globe - 1 views

  • But that seems to be changing. Just this week, a new poll showed that two-thirds of us favor "profound" changes in the way we finance and deliver medical care.

      I believe that this statement could be extremely misleading as '"profound"' is in quotations meaning that there are different connotations of the word being used. While two thirds of the American public may agree there should be some change in the medical system, they all do not believe that there should be radical change.

Sample Chapter for Fung, A.: Empowered Participation: Reinventing Urban Democracy. - 2 views

  • More ambitiously, residents sought physical improvements to make the park more useful, attractive, and inviting to legitimate users in the hope that they might drive out illegal ones.
    • Eric Henderson
       
      I'm not really sure how changing the makeup of the park will drive "illegal users" out because "illegal users" normally would carry out their activities during times in which there were no other people around to judge and or prevent their behavior. Changing the park makeup would probably just change the timeslots that illegal users were at that specific park.

Wired 11.09: PowerPoint Is Evil - 3 views

  • Slideware may help speakers outline their talks, but convenience for the speaker can be punishing to both content and audience.
    • Eric Henderson
       
      This statement is very ture because i believe that powerpoints, while sometimes necessary, are really overused. They should be used for supplementary ideas rather than the centerpiece for the speaker's whole presentation, as that is detrimental to everyone.
